There was "renewed laughter," but Colonel Winwood remained the hero of the half-hour and received the ecstatic congratulations of unhumorous friends. He might have defeated the Government altogether. In the daily round of political life nothing is so remarkable as the lack of sense of proportion. "It was the Gadarene swine that did it," they said.
He was so well to look at, so "magnificent"! Alexander spoke with the eloquence of a possessing passion, and Ian listened and felt himself to be the sympathizing friend. Even the profound, unreasonable, unhumorous idealism of old Steadfast had its quaint, Utopian appeal.
"And your father, what do you say he is?" Paul motioned to Silas to speak. "I, Madam," said the latter, "am a self-made man, and by the establishment of fried-fish shops all over London and the great provincial towns, have, by the grace of God, amassed a considerable fortune." "Fried fish?" said the Princess in a queer voice. Silas looked at her out of his melancholy and unhumorous eyes.
It was early afternoon when he walked into the office of Theron G. Macy, who owned the largest wholesale grocery house in town. Plump, prosperous, wearing a pleasant but quite unhumorous smile, Theron G. Macy greeted him warmly. "Well how do, Bryan? What's on your mind?" To Dalyrimple, straining with his admission, his own words, when they came, sounded like an Arab beggar's whine for alms.
"Good Lord!" he said. If there had been the least hint of hallucination in her transparent gaze but no: it was as clear, as shallow, as easily fathomable as when he had first suffered the sharp surprise of striking bottom in it. It occurred to him that perhaps she was trying to be funny: he knew that there is nothing more cryptic than the humor of the unhumorous. "Is it a joke?" he faltered.
The set, bleak expression of countenance was but a reflection of his personality and his companions had sensed this strained quality without being able to define it in words. "You listen to what the squatter man tells you," Morrow said to Bangs. "He'll put you right give you a course in how everything ought to be done." He rose and went outside. "That was a real unhumorous laugh," Evans said.
Athalia listened breathlessly, her rapt, unhumorous eyes fixed on Eldress Hannah's still face. Now and then she asked a question, and once cried out that, after all, why wasn't it the way to live? Peace and self-sacrifice and love! "Oh," she said, turning to her husband, "can't you feel the attraction of it? I should think even you could feel it!"
She wore a blue linen dress, and there was a little, soft, blue scarf under her chin; her white hat, with pink roses and loops of gray-blue ribbon, shadowed eager, unhumorous eyes, the color of forget-me-nots. Her husband was her senior by several years a large, loose-limbed man, with a scholarly face and mild, calm eyes eyes that were full of a singular tenacity of purpose.
I forgot those doleful and unhumorous conspirators among people who fervently believed in the place; but afterwards the memory left a bad taste in my mouth. Cities, like women, cannot be too careful what sort of men they allow to talk about them. Time had changed Vancouver literally out of all knowledge.
There was a moment of silence; then, as Mrs. Clarke did not speak, but sat still wrapped in a haggard immobility, Lady Ingleton said: "When do you go to Buyukderer?" "I shall probably go next week. I've very tired of Pera." "You look tired." "I didn't mean physically. I'm never physically tired." "Extraordinary woman!" said Lady Ingleton, with a faint, unhumorous smile.
